County Leadership Councils

Bay Area County Leadership Councils

The Leadership Councils build and maintain relationships at the county level to increase local engagement with the Red Cross mission. Members also explore how the Red Cross can best serve our Bay Area communities.

MISSION

The mission of the County Leadership Councils is to serve as a Red Cross Ambassador in the community to expand Red Cross presence, deepen relationships and to connect and understand community needs so counties are better prepared and resilient in times of emergencies.

PURPOSE

Cultivate relationships with local community leaders and elected officials to share Red Cross goals, progress and opportunities to join in Red Cross work that serve our communities.
Inspire communities to participate in the Red Cross mission as volunteers, partners and donors.
Identify opportunities to plan, implement or participate in strategic local events to share Red Cross mission and how community can access our services.
Support and recognize Red Cross volunteers
